Kontakt.io has introduced Patient Flow Agent, a new solution designed to help hospitals improve patient flow, reduce length of stay, prevent delays, support revenue growth, and enhance patient satisfaction. Every day, hospitals make hundreds of decisions during a patient’s journey from admission to discharge, many of which lack the full operational context needed to optimize outcomes. Patient Flow Agent changes this by providing a complete view of each stage in the patient journey, allowing caregivers to make informed decisions that benefit both patients and hospitals.

The Kontakt.io Care Orchestration platform combines real-time signals from RTLS technology with electronic health record data to generate actionable clinical context and predict next steps in patient care. The system identifies interventions that improve patient flow, monitors outcomes, and automates key actions to make discharge faster and simpler for staff and patients.

Philipp von Gilsa, CEO of Kontakt.io, said, “Hospitals do not have a problem with beds. They have a problem with orchestrating patient flow. Patient Flow Agent turns fragmented data into coordinated, real-time action using existing EHR systems and workflows and highlights interventions that must happen immediately.”
Patient Flow Agent has been shown to reduce patient length of stay by entire days and optimize the use of hospital resources by predicting patient trajectories, care needs, bed availability, discharge timing, potential barriers, and overall disposition. The system triggers interventions that free beds and redistribute resources efficiently, which is especially valuable during periods of high patient volumes, such as the ongoing influenza season in the U.S.
By helping hospital leaders open up additional capacity and reduce avoidable delays, Patient Flow Agent addresses a critical national challenge in care efficiency. A recent study found that 22 percent of U.S. inpatient hospital days are not clinically necessary. For a 200-bed hospital, optimizing patient flow in this way could result in approximately $4 million in annual cost savings and generate an additional $3 million in revenue.
